Culture Next 2020
Meet the generation working to rebuild society
Our second annual Culture Next report shows how the next generation is moving us forward.
Releasing a global trends report in a whirlwind year like 2020 is challenging, we’ll admit. Still, as we put together our second annual Culture Next, one thing became clear: This year’s events have clarified — and in many ways, accelerated — trends that Gen Zs and millennials have been shaping for quite some time. We’re excited for you to explore our findings in this year’s Culture Next. You’ll get a deep dive on how these generations influence art, tech, and culture — and hopefully, you’ll get inspired to pass them the mic.
“Our generation is going to be known for creation.”

During the course of our research we met Zs and millennials from around the world. We spoke with entrepreneurs, activists, artists, young families, and more. Through our own Streaming Intelligence, research, and conversations, we discovered new insights and explored five key trends among these young generations. And as this year’s major shifts took place — a global pandemic and racial justice movement — we made sure to update and adapt our research with new findings that reflect the context of 2020.
